Elegant entertainer

This generous 2000sqm block provides ample space to relax with friends and family, and low-maintenance plants mean there's even more time for the owners to enjoy the great outdoors T in their own backyard.

The circa-1980s home was carefully renovated, with the final result a beautiful contemporary home with clean lines, and a seamless transition to the striking outdoor spaces that offer so much to enjoy. The award-winning team from Simon McCurdy Landscapes has designed and built outdoor spaces and landscaping that the owners will relish for many years to come.

Director Simon McCurdy says the design brief involved cleaning up and rejuvenating the existing property, creating an outdoor entertaining space and simplifying garden maintenance. "The overall design is a relaxed, coastal style featuring earthy tones suited to a coastal environment," he shares. It's all about relaxation, and there are plenty of places to put up your feet and watch the world go by or to entertain in style.

The heart of Simon's approach to creating captivating outdoor landscapes centres on the design stage of each project. He believes it's an invaluable part of the process. "A careful and sustainable approach to the design phase will lead to an outstanding landscape construction - and a happy client," he says.
